Fire

Like a fire that refuses to die
is the calling you have put on my life
the passion that drives me
It may flicker
It may fade
but it never dies

at times I have wanted you to find someone else
and that flame flickers with my doubt
but it never dies

At times I …

take the lead

The other day I took some time and went to one of my secret places where no one can find me. It's no wonder that Jesus went into the wilderness to pray, I feel so much closer to God outside, away from any distractions, and closer to his creation. I usually just sit on …

materialism

How much am I willing to lose? How tightly am I holding on to the material possesions that God has so graceously blessed me with? How much of my money is spent on ridiculous things when I could be using it to bless someone else? I'm not saying that I should never buy …

Cradled in your wing

you have been with me
since my earliest memory

you found me as a child
frightened and alone

it was you that stayed by my side
through the long sleepless nights
as I cried

It was you that cradled me
in your wing

I have felt your arms around me
and for …

Strategizing to Impact The World....

Writing the title of this blog sends a shiver up my spine, because I know that I am apart of something that is so much bigger than myself, and I feel so challenged to push through the walls of our culture, our society, our way of thinking, and the walls that broken …

whatever the consequence

who have not come to …

How?

Lord how do I reach these kids?
how do I break through their walls?
how do I make them interested in what I have to say?

I don't want these kids to experience the same pain that I have experienced

Lord I cannot sit back and watch these kids lives be attacked …

Love

Lately I have been thinking alot about where I've come from and what has caused me to pursue the things that are on my heart. And it is love perfect love that comes from God alone

tired of the old

I'm so tired of the old
tired of the pain that tries to creep back in
of the lies about my worth that are thrown at me
in a moment of weakness

breaks my heart

I'm tired of analyzing my relationships
searching for any reason that they might not really like …

My purpose

So right now I'm job hunting, which is always a very frustrating thing for me. It's not that I don't want to work, my heart is just in a different place. I want so badly to do ministry all the time. Where ever I work I can minister to my co-workers or customers, …

Life Giving Words

Words are so powerful, we have so much power to either encourage others or tear them down. We have the opportunity to either speak words of healing into our relationships with others or we can choose to tear apart those relationships. We choose to be positive in our …

Change

when I think about how many things that I still want to grow and change in I am constantly faced with this mental battle. The battle is to look at the here and now and not be serious about daily taking that step to change. I keep realizing more and more that each day …

The Value of One Life

I have been very disturbed lately by how much America and all over the world really, have devalued life. I believe that in America it really started after they decided that it is ok to kill an unborn child. It is so insane to me that you could even find enough people …

Beauty

Beauty is something that I have been thinking about a lot lately...
What is beauty?
Am I beautiful?
What does God call beautiful?
If I am beautiful
what am I beautiful for?
If I'm beautiful for my looks
Am I still beautiful when...
I'm old
when stuff …

Our Purpose

My life is of no effect
if I am not in constant pursuit
of my God

My life is of no effect
if I remain in a
christian bubble
and never push myself
out of my comfort zone

My life is of no effect
if I never get over my fear
of failing
of rejection

My …

sneak away with you...

I love to just sneak away with you
to find a moment with you
where I can be silent before you
and just experience your presence...

Laying on the hood of my car watching the
clouds float by...
or attempting to count the countless stars...
where no one can find …

not as tough as I act

Lately I keep asking God to increase my capacity to love him and others. To not just "love" people, but to truly unconditionally love and serve others. I want to bring joy into others lives. I want to become someone whos positivity and happiness is infectious. Life …

perfect love

Who can say "I have not seen God"?
for all have seen the sky
all have seen the oceans
all have heard the innocent laughter of children
Lord you are everywhere
your fingerprints are all over this world
the skies are the works of a great painter
the mountains and …

secret place

Creation truly sings your song of redemption
In this quiet place is where I seek you
In this place you pour me out and fill me up
In this place I finally feel complete
it's just my father and I
you listen to my dreams
and you wipe away my tears
when I am weak you …
